I downloaded MyFitnessPal and started tracking my food there. I'm allotted 1440 calories a day if I want to lose a pound a week. That's completely doable. I noticed the app adds on more calories if you exercise. I'm not sure I want to use those, but its nice to have wiggle room if I'm starving and need an extra snack. I'm hoping forcing myself to log all of my food will help me stay on track. I used weight watchers to do the same when I needed to lose baby weight after my kids were born. It worked well for me. Hopefully the same will be true this time.
